Don't buy farcaster accounts. You might get rugged. 

They were designed to be easy to use in a social app, not to be traded like nfts. Some tradeoffs we made will make it harder to trade them safely. 

For example, someone can set a recovery address, transfer the account to you and reclaim it back a few hours later.

The whole promise of Farcaster is that I have total ownership over my account. Why not let the market decide what a FID is worth? 

We don’t encourage users to trade without the contract for the exact reason you described.

Security is important. But I'm in the camp that a user should have total control over their account, including to trade or not trade!

And they do. 


A warning from me about security risks doesn’t change that.
